There’s constantly some new weight loss diet or pill on the market that promises quick and effective results. There’s one particular new pill that has been in all the advertisements recently that is stating how helpful it is in accelerating weight reduction. Also noted in each advertisement is that it is FDA approved. This product is the Alli diet pills.

So, I thought I’d look a little further and see what the Alli diet pills are all about. Alli diet pills come with an individualized weight loss plan.
Alli capsules work by blocking absorption of about 25% of the fats that you eat. The concept behind this is simple, since fat is two times more calorie laden than any of the other nutrients you ingest. Faster weight loss will ensue.

With taking Alli diet capsules, it is recommended that you adhere to a low calorie, low fat diet. Online support for smart meal plans and online journals for your diet and exercise are part of the package with the Alli diet capsules. The acceleration of weight loss should be approximately 50% greater with the use of Alli diet capsules than it would be with a reduced calorie diet alone. Cost for this product is about $60.00 for a starter kit. The active ingredient in Alli diet capsules is orlistat.

The 25% of the fats not absorbed by your body are passed out in the stool. When you look at the side effects, you must balance out your options and figure out your risk to benefit ratio. Side effects are most common when you first start taking orlistat. Most side effects are gastrointestinal. Increased gas, loose or oily stools and urgency of stools may occur.

Absorption of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K may be impaired. Often gastrointestinal side effects will be less severe as you get accustomed to orlistat. If you adhere to a low fat diet, it will minimize the risk of these side effects.
